What Causes Pain On The Left Side Of The Chest?
For the last two week, I have been having a dull pain on the left side of my chest that I think is from stress. When I tried to make an appointment with my primary care doctor, the nurse said I should go to the emergency room. I don t think it is a heart attack and feel foolish if I go to the ER for stress. Is there anything else that I can try at home?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
In law of a chest pai the electrocardiogram should be done to exclude cardiac issue.
In my opinion, I can be acid reflux.
I suggest using Maalox three times a say.
I also suggest using Omeprazole daily in the morning.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
